Experiences of Harry Wu As a Political Prisoner in the Peoples Republic of China
The second part of a hearing held in April 1995 with Harry Wu as a witness on political and religious repression in China, in particular the vicious system of prison labor camps maintained for political and religious dissidents in China, known as the laogai, a term that means reform through labor. On June 19, 1995 Mr. Wu entered China to further document human rights abuses there, but was detained by the Chinese police and held incommunicado, even though he is now an American citizen. He was publicly threatened with the charge of espionage, which could have brought the death penalty, but after a worldwide outcry, the PRC government subjected him to a quick criminal trial and the issuance of a 15-year sentence and the humiliation of formal expulsion from China.
Bitter Winds
In April 1960, Chinese Communist authorities arrested Harry Wu, casting him into a prison labour camp. Though never formally charged or tried, he spent the next nineteen years in a hellish world of grinding labour, systematic starvation and torture. The book also chronicles the stories of other prisoner's who became the author's friends during their time of incarceration.

Mad by the Millions
The World Health Organization's post-World War II work on the epidemiology and classification of mental disorders and its vision of a "world psyche." In 1946, the World Health Organization undertook a project in social psychiatry that aimed to discover the epidemiology and classification of mental disorders. In Mad by the Millions, Harry Y-Jui Wu examines the WHO's ambitious project, arguing that it was shaped by the postwar faith in technology and expertise and the universalizing vision of a "world psyche." Wu shows that the WHO's idealized scientific internationalism laid the foundations of today's highly highly metricalized global mental health system.
